Meandering artist-type person. Currently investing my practice time into mini painting!
Finished all but the bases on my PanO minis from #infinity! Still have to work on my brush control as I can see lots of places my brush strayed or bumped spots I didn't mean to. Practice is practice! :3

Worked on painting my Infinity folks more last night. I tried doing some highlighting/glazing on the armor and pants. I'm not super thrilled with how it's looking. I might need to re-basecoat those bits and try again :/

Just picked up some 'Ghost' brushes from one my local gaming stores :D I'll have to try them out tonight to see how they feel! White nylon bristles are an interesting look and it should, hopefully, get me better about not overloading a brush to the ferrule. Something I need practice at :P

Went to this month's painting night at my flgs. Picked up a new wet palette since the old one was kinda meh. A couple more paints and a silicone palette too. Spent my time there working on base coating some #infinity minis! Still a decent bit of work ahead but it's a start :3

Finished up basing Kyrrax's command cadre today! These are the last of the lowlands style bases for now I think. I'm thinking of making the bases for Shyryss and friends with a more swampy theme. :3

And the group shot! Swapped out to a black backdrop and tried doing some photo editing to bring out the colours better. :3

Based the rest of my #trenchcrusade minis! I think the bases on these came out better than the thralls; at least the rustiness of the mud seems more apparent :3

More basing done! I'm thinking of keeping all of the command cadre on the same 'lowlands' style base. This leaves the two conjurers and the Drakyon to go! Here's some of Kyrrax's lizardtaur friends :3

Last week I got a game of #warmachine in at my LGS with the roomie. It was interesting playing with the store's terrain but it did take a while to set up since we didn't know where anything was :P We played the scenario 'wolves at our heels' at 50pts & I pulled out a win with an assassination run :3

Finished with all but basing on these wyrmspine shadowmancers! :3 Tried my hand at highlights to various levels of success. Gotta keep practicing my brush control. I could also use to buy a new brush that will keep its tip better. #miniature #painting #warmachine

Went to a paint night event held at my LGS last night! Only managed to get a start on these wyrmspine shadowmancers but it's something! Trying to get better at shading and highlighting. Still a lot of practice needed (and on maybe not a bone colour to start :p) #minis #warmachine #painting

Heya folks! Finally got a break in the constant winds recently and primed a few #warmachine and #infinity minis. I still have the magnetized ones to figure out. How the heck do I zenithal all the bits to look like the colours fit? 🤔

Got some new #Warmachine minis today! Wyrmspine Shadowmancers & a Spinner. Not the most exciting pieces but should be nice for the journeyman league folks are trying to start at my LGS. Wish their bases weren't slotted since all but one piece weren't built for that so there are gaps in the bases.

Went out to my LGS last night to play some #GrandArchive :3 I took a new wind Diana deck I cobbled together and, as expected, did not do particularly well :P It was close to closing out games but usually came up just a little short. It needs more time to bake.

Played another match with the #Infinity Essentials: Start Here box! I played PanO again & the roomie played JSA. I won this time! Managed to take out both his keisotsu on my first turn & managed to take down the shikami with AROs. I still gotta paint these minis up. It was too windy to prime today.

Played my first ever game of #Infinity last night! It was the Essentials - Start Here box with PanO and JSA. I played PanO & my roomie played the JSA side. Between some bad BS attacks & his Shikami's super jump he managed to close distance really fast. His Shikami took my entire force apart. :D
